First time i’m using Forest Admin. I did it on an O2switch hosting. All went well during installation process, I proceed to installation trought NPM and the process ended on…
We strongly suggest to install on localhost the first time that’s why we generate a command line with --application-host=localhost and --application-port=3310.
If you still want to go to a remote install for the first time you need to change those parameters. If it’s a remote it needs to be in https ! So you would do something like --application-host=https://my-domain.com --application-port=443
Your issue is due to the fact that you installed your project with a the localhost option but your server is not local at all
Apparently i just need to put some privilege on the 443 port, thing is i’m not allowed to do it by myself… I have to communicate the IP adress of the service who sollicitate the port to O2switch (hoster service) who put it on whitelist
Can you communicate me the IP adress i could transmit to them ? ^^
that’s what i’ve done, I’ll continue to discuss with them… Just to be sure : The Forest Admin domain who need access to the 443 port is app.forestadmin.com right ?
it’s honestly strange that a hoster requires to whitelist clients for incoming connections. All clients should be able to access a service on a standard port such as https.
Are you sure they are talking about the IP address of Forest Admin?
It sound strange to me also but i asked them how i could give the requried privileges to the 443 port and they answered me that they was not able to “unlock a port” and need to whitelist the IP adress of the service…
It’s a wild guess, but I think you need to create the app on port 3000 on your side (--application-port=3000), and on ForestAdmin you need to set your hostname and port 443.
They seem to “translate” external ports (80, 443) to your app port (3000).
